An Ambitious Little Town which Is

MOUNTAIN HOME, Oct 20, 1887.
To TIE Eo1roR OF THE TINES
The warm days of summer have
passed away, and we have Instead the
cold fall winds of the Snake River
plains. The trees are losing their
green leaves, and the flower beds have
all lost their robes of many brilliant
colors. Dame Nature seems to be
preparing for the winter storms which
viii! soon burst upon her.
The residents hereabout seem we'll
pleased with their summers work,
and even the near approach Of winter
does not seem to daunt them in the
good work they are trying to accom-
plish, for with the appearance Of the
morning sun the carpenters hammer
may be heard in all parts Of our busy
little town. 1t is safe to say that rs
new houses have been erected in the
vicinity of Mountain Home since the
first of June. 1887. Among the most
important is J. VI. Hagar's warehouse,
which is quite commodious building,
erected on a large platform close to
the Oregon Short Line, and upon
which goods are unloaded right from
the cars. Mr.. Hagar intends to erect,
early III the spring, a large brick
store, which will front on Canyon
street and also on Atlanta avenue.
J. Morris, ex.proprietor of the
Mountain Home Hotel, has large
residence in progress to accommodate
his family during the winter months,
as he intends leaving his ranch in
care of hired help and remaining in
town so as to send his adopted son to
school.
Mrs. VIM. kice has rented the new
dwelling just completed by Patrick
Donivan, and will make herself com
Portable with US for the rest Of the
winter, and, in all probability, build
IN the spring and remain here.
Mr.. Bressler, our jeweler, has pu,
the old Crandall building in order,
and will soon open a 6rst-class gro
Gerry store; and, as he is an accommo
dating gentleman and thoroughly
honest, prophecy a bright business
future for him.
A couple of young ladies from the
capital have rented a room in the
Turner House, aud have on hand a
choice lot of millinery goods, and will
do their utmost to please those de.r-
ing anything in their line.
The crops are all good, and among
them is NJ. G.. Phelps's tobacco crop
This gentleman has for FIVE years
raised, each year, several hundred
pounds Of the regular old Connecticut
narrow-leaf, and this year it was
superior to any ever grown in the
Territory. A few leaves shown at
the Caldwell! exhibition were awarded
the prize.
Our hotels are first class.
The depot here is quite a large
| structure.
The nice fruits raised here are sex
celled by none and equalled by few"
The grapes raised on Mr.. Jxckson's
farm were of the larges, size, and the
flavor could not be excelled by any of
California growth. NJ. Daniels has
one Of the finest orchards to be found
in Idaho; it consists OF apples. pears,
peaches, plums, apricots, and all kinds
of small fruits The peaches raised

Frrors Corrected.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In the
interview with the undersigned published
In Saturdays REPUBLICAN, there are two
errors that should be corrected.
For "brick concore" read "brlck con.
cave" What said was that discovered
three sections OF the great L street water
main that rest on "brick coucave," or in
verted arch, that rest on stune piers
Ihie, OF course, is typographical error.
as know of no such word in the English
language as "concore."
am made TO say that the connection of
the l. street main with the 20 inch IN ,in at
Seventeenth and Lstreeis, which caused tho
"splits," was made three years ago, whereas
1t was made last spring,
What | stated was tnat the great 36.inch
main had stood the test for fifteen ye trs
without leaking a drop until last spring,
when In consequence OF not using proper
caution In making the connection at Seven
teenlh aud l. streets, 1t was split In several
places, i stated that the water during all
these fifteen years had only been turned OIL
from this main three times previous to last
spring, the last time previous to last April,
being over three years ago. so that the
splits must have been caused ut the time
and In the way have stated
Please make these corrections and oblige,
